Chapter 211 Collective Contagion

"Doctor, is there no way to treat my disease and yours? They all say that you have excellent medical skills." Zhao Wanjiang hesitated and asked again.

"Comrade, for your disease, the effect of taking medicine alone is very poor.

There are worms in your body. These worms are different from the nematodes in children's stomachs. They can be eliminated by prescribing two pairs of Chinese medicine.

As for you, the bugs have cysts. These cysts are attached to the organs of your body and cannot be removed with traditional Chinese medicine.

The only way is to remove the worm cyst through surgery.

I just suggested to go to Xicheng Hospital because if you need surgery, I will do it later." Zhang Yan did not expect that the other party would still trust his medical skills so much, so he explained to Zhao Wanjiang more patiently.

"Are you coming to do this surgery?"

"Yes, Xicheng Hospital and our Red Star Hospital are cooperative units. Our Red Star Hospital does not have an operating room or examination room, so patients who need surgery will be recommended to Xicheng Hospital.

Actually, another advantage of going to Xicheng Hospital is that all expenses will be reimbursed." Zhang Yan explained with a smile.

Employees of farms in the western suburbs can enjoy publicly funded medical treatment when they go to Xicheng Hospital.

However, if you go to Red Star Hospital, you need to pay for it yourself.

Zhang Yan is very happy. Some people would rather pay for themselves to see a doctor. What does this mean?

It shows that his medical skills have been recognized by a large number of people.

"Okay, okay! If you say that, I feel relieved. I will go to Xicheng Hospital right away." Zhao Wanjiang left the Red Star Hospital with a smile.

The hospital is supposed to be a place where science is explained, but in many cases it is very metaphysical.

For example, you may not encounter one case of a certain disease in a month, but when it does appear, several cases appear in clusters.

It is not an infectious disease like a viral cold.

Although Zhang Yan wants to study the treatment options for cystic echinococcosis using traditional Chinese and Western medicine, he does not want so many people to get cystic echinococcosis.

This is not the Virgin, but a person's conscience.

He would rather not study treatment options than hope that many people will get this disease.

However, it is obvious that this aspect is not subject to Zhang Yan's will.

This disease is a common infectious disease in pastoral areas. Even here in Beijing, there are many patients with this kind of cystic hydatid disease.

Especially in several farms and pastures on the outskirts of Beijing, there are more cases of this disease.

The main reason is that people of this era are not aware of how this disease is transmitted.

Cystic hydatid disease is a disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans.

In future generations, many people may not remember such things as rice and pork.

Rice pork is pork infected with cystic hydatid disease. Eating rice pork can cause cystic hydatid disease.

The same goes for cattle and sheep, which are prone to cystic hydatid disease. Once people eat infected beef and mutton, they will be infected with cystic hydatid disease.

Another issue is drinking water. Farmers and herdsmen before this era were very unrestrained. In summer, they liked to drink raw water.

This is also a way to transmit hydatid disease.

Before the 1950s and 1960s, and even before the 1970s and 1980s, hydatid disease was widespread and attracted national attention.

After decades of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention propaganda, the problem of cystic hydatid disease has been suppressed.

It's just about suppressing it, not eradicating it. There's no way to eradicate this infectious disease.

In the afternoon, Zhao Pengcheng called and told Zhang Yan that the patient he introduced had been diagnosed with cystic hydatid disease.

And it's also multiple cystic hydatid disease.

Multiple cystic hydatid disease is more troublesome because it is easy to recur.

"Director Zhao, since the diagnosis has been confirmed, please inform the patient to be hospitalized and make pre-operative preparations." Zhang Yan explained and prepared to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute, Doctor Zhang!

In addition to Zhao Wanjiang who was recommended by you today, there are four other patients who have also been diagnosed with cystic hydatid disease, and they are all employees of the western suburbs farm." Zhao Pengcheng quickly stopped Zhang Yan and said.

"Are they all employees of the western suburbs farm?"

"Yes! They are all employees of the western suburbs farm."

"Then you should hurry up and notify the Xijiao Farm and ask them to organize farm workers to go to the hospital for examination.

If this disease is discovered early, it can still be cured with traditional Chinese medicine decoction." Zhang Yan frowned and said quickly.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

"I have notified the farm in the western suburbs, and they will organize farm workers to come to the hospital in batches for examination tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning and then stay at Xicheng Hospital for a while." Zhang Yan said simply.

"Dr. Zhang, it's great that you can come here. We have no experience in this disease, so we all rely on your guidance." Zhao Pengcheng said happily.

"Director Zhao, don't think too simplistically. I feel that this cystic hydatid disease is a collective disease.

There may be many patients infected with cystic hydatid disease, and our Xicheng Hospital may not be able to treat them.

We'll see what happens tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we'll ask our superiors for help and transfer the patient to another hospital." Zhang Yan said seriously.

If there are one or two cases, it may also be cystic hydatid disease that was accidentally transmitted. If five cases are detected in a row, it means that either the water source is contaminated, or they ate rice and pork or were infected with hydatid disease.

Beef and mutton.

No matter which one it is, it means that the number of people infected this time will be very large, and it may even exceed Zhang Yan's estimate.

It would be better if you ate rice and pork.

What is the source of water? That is the real problem.

Once the water source is contaminated, it means that all employees of the western suburbs farm, including pigs, cattle and sheep, are at risk of being infected.

"Brother Zhang, what's wrong? I see you've been frowning?" Liang Yan asked with concern after seeing Zhang Yan frowning in a daze after hanging up the phone.

"The patient named Zhao Wanjiang this morning, his illness is not an isolated case, it may be a collective infectious disease.

By the way, tomorrow I will take Zhao Shengli to Xicheng Hospital. You can redistribute the work here. Two people will be left on duty in the office, and the other two will study pharmacy." Zhang Yan explained, and then told Liang Yan.

"I know, Brother Zhang!" Liang Yan agreed.

Zhang Yan let out a long breath, then immersed himself in researching papers on the liver, gallbladder and pancreas.

When it was almost time to get off work, Zhang Yan came to Lao Liangtou's office, told him about cystic hydatid disease, and asked for leave by the way.

Tomorrow, it is estimated that he will have to stay in Xicheng Hospital for a day, or even for several days in a row.

"This is a big deal, just go, I'm at home!" Lao Liangtou said simply.

Normally, we would compete with Xicheng Hospital, but now it is a major matter related to people's health, so we naturally have to pay attention to the pattern.
